Some stolen, some just some of the usual evolution of collecting clamps. |

I’d better pay attention here. I’m collecting and they’re scattered … -- Marty, Long Island, NY |

For me… I have dabbled with clamps laying in a heap, then a clamp cart, then a wall mounted clamp holder. My 4th iteration of clamping storage is my final as I find it the best. I just recently 90% finished my 80”x48” assembly table/outfeed table. I installed around 65×1 3/4” PVC conduits about 24” long underneath. All my parallel clamps lay horizontally, 1 in each PVC. My F clamps lay across the PVC. Wonderful storage and out of the way. -- The Carpenter Bee is derived from the Ancient Greek word wood-cutter "xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος" |

I’ll be moving to a new, smaller shop later this summer so I will be evaluating all of the different options for clamp storage. I know I won’t have much wall space so I might have to go with an under-table arrangement like Holbs mentioned. -- Earl "I'm a pessamist - generally that increases the chance that things will turn out better than expected" |

If you have tall ceilings, have a 1/2” pipe mounted to ceiling. Weld hooks on clamps and hang from ceiling. Also great for getting glued up panels out of way. This is what I did. Got 48 linear foot of pipe I can hang panels from. Cost about 200$ clamps not included. Probably gonna add another 16 ft. Can post pics if needed |

Floor space is too precious in my shop. Mine are on the wall behind the door, and on the door. Overhead would be by next option. Though I have no plans to add more any time soon. -- tel |

I have to steal every idea I can. I’m headed toward two hundred clamps. NOTE: That includes spring clamps, C-clamps…. |

When I buy pipe clamps, the QTY starts at 6 and goes up from there. Never enough. |

You’re pathetic

Great for those that have loads of floor space. -- Mike, an American living in Norway. |

I guess, going this route, you could add elbows , nipples and flanges, as a more expensive alternative.
[and to be clear, the pathetic comment was a poke at all of us who “never have enough clamps.” |
